Update 5.1.0. Wil Nexus 4 get it? the main feature I've been waiting is the killswitch in the new update, will nexus 4 get this feature?

Nexus 4 will get 5.1 but i don't think the killswitch will work.

The only advantage of using Device protection (killswitch) in 5.1 from the current Android Device Manager is that the killswitch will even prevent thief from using the phone even after factory reset.

Android Device Manager already has capability to remotely wipe the phone. But thief can still do factory reset and use the phone as if a new phone.

Due to the way Device protection work, i suspect only newer phone ship with Lollipop (5.0) and above will work, this including Nexus 6 and 9. Even Nexus 5 should not work. I could be wrong.

Another thing, to use this feature, you must not have boot-loader unlocked. Otherwise, it is no used. I can simply replace your boot-loader, even in Nexus 6.

I'm curious one things, talking about kill-switch, with iDevices have Touch ID the fingerprint sensors, the iPhone or iPad render less attract thief it since, they cant disable the lock or with iCloud able to remote lock.

Back with our Android, tech savvy thief can wipe our device on bootloader/recovery even we have lock our device with password/pin/fingerprint sensors like the Mate7 or MX4 Pro. Correct right?

But still no harms in hoping it will works right. Although its a long shot

u can go to Pertama Complex thr to change.. but recommend u go to JasonChi he charge damn cheap

Yes. Sure can reset it by factory reset. That's why Device Lock (Android 5.1) trying to protect us from.

Also, it's not difficult to "unlock" a phone protected by pin in both Android and iOS (if jailbroken). It can be done without even factory reset. Those fingerprint sensor will not help you.

lolol.. such easy like cake anyway.. how's your *ehem* ah

So at the moment the iDevice (non-jailbreak) are much security superior compare to our current Android 5.0. Fingercross hope Google release the Device Lock on Android 5.1.

Ya, in nutshell, non-jailbreak, security wise iOS > android. However, jail broken android with proper configuration > iOS because you can use firewall, custom root privilege, custom SELinux enchacements, custom recovery, custom kernel, custom permissions / package manager, etc.

There is some open source project that can lock down your android and run app in sandbox feeding app with fake info, those are not possible with iOS.

long time no see... not so easy, need to do some research to come out with the iOS passcode bypass basically, just 2 command:

1. Hook into SpringBoard (the Home screen process in iOS)


2. Tell it that "there is no spoon passcode"


iOS will automatically unlock itself!

my Galaxy W still somewhere in the toolbox. good for testing stuff. now main phone still using Nexus 4.

Hoho...so pro...my friend found an ip5 but now become brick because got lock by icloud.Can unlock that?

as said. it still require jail broken iPhone in order to break the passcode.

Hi guys, cracked my screen last nite. Any recomended shop to repair around kuching?

Pass code need jail broken iOS, unlock bricked icloud is a different beast. But it can be done without jail broken, someone created a fake Icloud server that claimed to be able to unlock those... You may need to find a reliable doulci server.... I have never test this and no source code to back up this, so, use at own risk.

And err... Don't trust any app. You just need the IP address of the server. No need to install anything... Anyway, we are out of topic. :-)
